I'm manly?
it's a non-concept
I act however the fuck i act, ive no clue
I don't give a fuck about acting "manly"
I'm male, so, a lot?
i don't give it a definition, because the idea is worthless to meif "manliness" is generally defined to be "how a man should act", as you put it, then that necessarily excludes women from that equationi'd amend that to "how men and women should act"--humanlinessand i already have another word for humanliness--it's called ethicsin which case, yes, i generally try my best to be an ethical person
I just act as I do.
That's assuming men and women are the same,
I generally don't take "manliness" very seriously because I give zero fucks about fitting into whatever prescribed notion of what a man should be.

One of the parts of being manly in my book is that you should treat everyone with respect, because everyone might have a story to tell. It's what I think a man should act like, so I try my best.

I believe in ethics to have a common ground, but what I'm talking about is the differences here, not the similarities. Every sane person would want both sexes to act well (ethics), but what is considered well for one sex exclusively if it has to? What are those trademark things?

It's what I think a man should act like, so I try my best.is definitely not an adequate example of something that isn't just trying to be a good person, rather than a good man specifically
